Chapter 57: The Abalone (continued)
Panyu, the officials of the state government are busy, all kinds of official documents are piling up, many people are sitting on the desk, to transcribe the notices issued or sent out that day, what they are doing at this moment is the responsibility that the officials of the Guangzhou Governor's Office should assume in the future.

Lingbiao was originally under the rule of Chen Guo, and after the Zhou Guoling Lingdao marched to take Lingbiaozhou County, he had to temporarily assume the responsibilities of the government until the imperial court appointed a formal magistrate.
It is precisely because of this that before the expedition, there was the appointment of the marching marshal and Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen as the "military governor of Lingnan Prefecture and County".
The Zhou State implemented general control, similar to the capital governor system of the Southern Dynasty, and Lingbiao must set up a governor's office, and considering all parties, the establishment of the Guangzhou governor's office is a matter of time.
Therefore, at this time, the marching marshal of Lingnan Road exercised the functions of the Guangzhou governor's office, as long as the Guangzhou governor appointed by the imperial court did not take office, then the marching marshal, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, must also serve as the governor of Guangzhou.
Who will be the head of Guangzhou? When did the Guangzhou governor take office? I don't know yet.
The position of governor is appointed by the Son of Heaven himself, and the affairs of the consul general, such as the city god, soldiers and horses, accounting records, grain and grass, and garrisons of the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the consul, are generally held by the prince, the imperial family, the cronies, the ministers and their descendants.
It is said that the position of chief manager is a good errand, but it also depends on which governor's mansion it is in, if you come to a place like Lingbiao, thousands of miles away, to be the head of the house, if you don't do well, you will die in office.
Not to mention that now that the government is in the hands of the prime minister, the Son of Heaven cannot be the master of the appointment of the governor, and the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, which will be established by Lingbiao, is a bit delicate.
To serve in this kind of ghost place, even if he does not die of illness, he is far away from the center of power, and he will not be forgotten in a year or two, so it is unlikely that the prime minister's cronies will take office.
Another problem is about the setting up of the Lingbiao Governor's Office, if according to the Governor District set up by Chen Guo, all the prefectures and counties of Lingbiao will be under the rule of a Metropolitan Governor's District, but in fact, because of traffic problems, it may not be appropriate for Zhou Guo to set up only one Governor's Office in Lingbiao.
"Therefore, in the opinion of the marshal of my army, at least three governors should be set up in Lingbiao, and in addition to Guangzhou, we must also set up governors in Guizhou and Jiaozhou, so that we can effectively govern Lingbiaozhou County."
"The Three Governors' Mansion... I'm afraid it's not enough, this official thinks that at least there will be another governor's office in Yulin County in the upper reaches of Yushui. ā
Cui Da was talking with the guests at this moment, and the other party was Feng Deyi, a messenger sent by Yu Wenming, the marshal of the march of Jiangnan West Road, and Liu Wenjing, a member of the army of the marching marshal of Lingnan Road.
Feng Lun's word Deyi, with words in the world, so "Feng Deyi" is well-known to relatives and friends, and his real name Feng Lun is rarely mentioned, he is the same age as Liu Wenjing, but the time to enter the office is later.
Liu Wenjing was earlier opened by Xiyang Wang Yuwen as the palace secretary, and was later appointed as the marshal of the Lingnan Road march to join the army, and Feng Deyi was at the end of last year by the marshal of the Jiangnan West Road march and the king of Qi, Shiziyu civilization, and has since entered the official career.
Yu Wenming led the army to attack Chen Guoba, Hunan and Guizhou, and is now stationed in Shi'an, Guizhou Prefecture, to meet and appease the chiefs and cave masters under the rule of Guizhou.
Because Guizhou is also under the scope of Lingbiao (Lingnan), the "Governor of Lingnan Military" is the Marshal of the Lingnan Road March, Yu Wenwen, who shared part of the heavy responsibility for Yuwenwen.
But even so, Yu Wenming still had to inform Yuwenwen of the situation in Guizhou, so Feng Deyi and others from the Pai Ji Office carried official documents, set off from Shi'an, took a boat from Lishui to the south into Yushui, and then went down the river to Panyu in Guangzhou.
When Feng Deyi arrived in Panyu, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen had already taken his men and horses out to pacify all parts of Lingbiao, and he himself was in Anzhou Song Shou, which was nearly thousands of miles away, preparing to crusade against Li Fozi, the assassin of Jiaozhou, who was trying to stand on his own.
Therefore, Feng Deyi could only submit the official document to the marching marshal Shi Cui Da, and then wait for Yuwenwen to come back in Panyu.
Unexpectedly, although Yu Wenwen soon forced Li Fozi to surrender, he used troops against the farther Linyi State, and he didn't know when he would return to Panyu, so Feng Deyi couldn't wait.
The main force of the marching army in the west of Jiangnan is about to leave Guizhou and return to Xiangzhou Prefecture to govern Linxiang and station, and with the official permission of the imperial court, the marching marshal Yu Wenming will lead the army to the division, so Feng Deyi, as a staff member, must go back and join the army.
So today, he resigned to Cui Da, and talked about some things by the way, one of which was the point mentioned by Yu Wenming in the official document: It is definitely not enough to set up a governor's office in the Lingbiao area.
Of course, the people who know the most about the newly acquired land are the generals who lead the troops, so Yu Wenming plans to communicate with Yuwen Wen first, send someone to report the situation of Lingbiao to the imperial court, and suggest that a few more governors should be set up in order to effectively control this vast territory.
This is a business matter, so even if others know, it's nothing, about the question mentioned by Yu Wenming, Cui Da also has a similar opinion, since Feng Deyi is going to resign today, and Yu Wenwen is not there, he answered on behalf of Yu Wenwen, so that Feng Deyi can bring a letter back.
As the chief of the marching marshal, although Cui Dalu is the supervisor of the army, he is also the chief of staff, so when Yuwenwen is not there, he presides over the affairs of the marching marshal Xingyuan, and he also has the right to express his views and opinions on the exchange of official documents.
In fact, Cui Da also bears the responsibility of the governor of Guangzhou, and the responsibility of Sima of the governor's mansion is assumed by Yang Ji, the head of the march, and as for the head of the march, Murong Sanzang, is now the "history of the governor of the right to Jiaozhou".
The task of marching on Lingnan Road has been completed, and it is impossible for Yuwenwen to rob the captain Chi Youqi for the credit, so Cui Da is now thinking about how to get a new appointment from the prime minister after the class teacher returns to the dynasty, and he has no heart to compete with Yuwenwen.
So he threw a lot of things to Liu Wenjing in the notebook to do, anyway, the young man can survive, and Cui Da is happy.
After talking for a while, Feng Deyi retired, and Liu Wenjing sent him out, the two were the same age, and the owners of their respective mansions were close brothers, so there were more topics.
"Brother Liu, I wonder when Xiyang's caravan will be able to depart?"
"Ah, the caravan has been loaded, it will be able to leave tomorrow, there are many accompanying dart masters, with them, Brother Feng can arrive in Nanchang all the way without worry, and then turn to Ancheng Trail to Linxiang, all the way unimpeded."
"Thank you Brother Liu for your arrangement, the younger brother has something unclear..."
"Please."
"My younger brother has lived in the north for a long time, and I don't know much about seafood, so I don't know if the anchovy is a fish?"
Feng Deyi and Liu Wenjing are the same age, but a few months younger, so they are called brothers to each other, he is a northerner, rarely eats river products, let alone seafood, and after coming to Panyu, he was very surprised to see the large-scale purchase of seafood by Huangzhou businessmen.
If it is coral, hawksbill turtle, pearl is easy to understand, but Huangzhou merchants also buy dried goods such as anchovies, which are not like fish at all, which is really puzzling to call it.
"Although it has the name of a fish, it is not a fish, it is actually a shellfish, but it is born in water, and it is generally called 'fish'."
Liu Wenjing explained what "anchovy" is, and Feng Deyi walked through the streets of Panyu, walked towards the other party's collapse, passing by the abalone on the street, a salty smell came to the nostrils, in the eyes of people who are not used to smelling, this smell is a stink.
"Taishi Gong, the first emperor died halfway through the tour, Li Si and others did not mourn, filled the car with abalone, and covered the smell of the corpse with the smell of abalone, and now I heard it with my nose, and it was really so."
Feng Deyi sighed with emotion, the world will call salted fish abalone, the taste is really bad, but the fish is very precious, so he is very curious about how this thing can be turned into a delicacy.
"I don't know much about this, but fresh anchovy is not resistant to storage, and it has to be dried and salted before it can be transported thousands of miles away, and it should be soaked before it can be cooked..."
Liu Wenjing doesn't care about how to eat the anchovy, he cares about whether the dried anchovy he purchased in Panyu has been transported back to Xiyang, as a "purchasing agent", he has made a lot of money from the last round of anchovy purchasing.
A dried anchovy, the purchase price in Panyu is less than 1,000 yuan, and it can be sold for nearly 4,000 yuan after being transported to Xiyang, which is several times the profit, Liu Wenjing is a little strange, why no one did this kind of business in Lingbiao before the Southern Dynasty?
Nanren eat aquatic products and seafood, in the Jiangnan area, the price of a dried anchovy is more than 3,000 yuan, Liu Wenjing heard that anchovy is only produced in the coastal areas around Qingzhou, and even if there is anchovy in Jiankang, it is also sold by merchants from Qingzhou.
The same is true of the anchovy in the Xiyang restaurant, but when Panyu saw the dried anchovy, everyone was a little stunned: it turns out that the anchovy is not only found along the coast of Qingzhou?
Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen privately said that this thing can make a lot of money by shipping it back and selling it, so everyone bought some suspiciously and entrusted the caravan to transport it back to Xiyang, and the result was really profitable.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, but they felt a little strange: why did the southerners who wanted to buy anchovy only set their sights on Qingzhou in the north? Why does the king of Xiyang always call the anchovy "abalone"?
